Billyboy, could you find another set of telegraphs to go with your avatar? I'm a bit worried that if you ring down Full Ahead on that one, we will end up going around in circles. I would be happier being able to ring for Full Ahead Both. Of course, if Tmac has commissioned a third engine and propeller shaft, we would have to ring down for Full Ahead Together.

Of course, you could always engage Iron Mike and let him apply massive amounts of corrective helm. Tmac is justly proud of the phenomenal SHP achieved by his machinery , so Full Ahead on one should still give us our 25 knot cruising speed, but only with the helm hard over.
